Abstract

The J-proteins, also called DNAJ-proteins or heat shock protein 40 (HSP40), are one of the famous molecular chaperones. J-proteins, HSP70s and other chaperones work together as constitute ubiquitous types of molecular chaperone complex, which function in a wide variety of physiological processes. J-proteins are widely distributed in major cellular compartments. In the chloroplast of higher plants, around 18 J-proteins and multiple J-like proteins are present; however, the functions of most of them remain unclear. During the last few years, important progress has been made in the research on their roles in plants. There is increasing evidence that the chloroplast J-proteins play essential roles in chloroplast development, photosynthesis, seed germination and stress response. Here, we summarize recent research advances on the roles of J-proteins in the chloroplast, and discuss the open questions that remain in this field.
